We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween this past weekend! We are now in the winds of November—and we’ve got a lot blowing around for events.

For the entire month, ABSW is opening our doors at 65 James Street to writers taking part in NaNoWriMo—check out the ABSW “Come Write In” hours and details on our Facebook page.

This Saturday, November 8, is our All-Day Writers Workshop with Jennifer Allis Provost, Jennifer Carson, and Trisha J. Wooldridge. While the deadline has passed for critiques, we still have a few seats left for the workshop, so last-minute interested writers can still sign up for the class for $40 (price includes lunch!) at the bookstore. Authors, editors, publicists, award-winners—these women will help you navigate the tricky waters of writing craft, the publishing business, and promotions/marketing. For more details, check out our event listing on Facebook!

And don’t forget, check out our FULL CALENDAR LISTING on our events page! Here’s just a brief taste of the many more things you can expect from ABSW in the next few weeks!
